FRENSHIP

Neurolux, May 1

The LA-based electro-pop duo FRENSHIP is a two-man band, but its music—fittingly, considering its name—is the perfect soundtrack for adventure with a large group of friends. Fresh off a 2017 tour with Bastille, FRENSHIP has struck out on its own to promote its newest singles "Love Somebody" and "Goodmorning, Goodbye." Though it has yet to release a full album, the duo has found a dedicated following on streaming platforms like Spotify, which named it the #2 Breakout Artist of 2016, and music apps like Shazam, which crowned it a 2017 Emerging Artist. Even without the guidance of its eclectic, evocative videos, FRENSHIP's music has a sun-soaked aesthetic and free-love vibe. In tracks like "1000 Nights" and "Love Somebody," drum beats mimic footsteps, and the doubled refrains conjure up the image of dozens of people raising their voices. Even songs that are tinged with desperation, like the platinum- and gold-certified Emily Warren collaboration "Capsize," are undeniably danceable. Catch FRENSHIP at Neurolux for a dose of Tuesday positivity.
